After two weeks of national team match day and returning to La Liga, Real Madrid, in poor form, drew 1:1 away by Malaga in the 7th round, ending their winning streak of this season, but eventually took the lead in the league with a 1-point advantage.

Three days later, at the Bernabeu Stadium, Real Madrid neatly defeated AC Milan 2-0 at home with goals from Ronaldo and Ozil, and won three consecutive wins in the group. It can be said that one foot has stepped into the threshold of qualifying in the group.

On October 23, in the 8th round of La Liga, Real Madrid welcomed Athletic Santander at home.

This team that wants to use Real Madrid to play poorly in multiple lines and take advantage of the situation, but encountered the most painful lesson of the season at the Bernabeu Stadium. Aguero used an almost stunning big four, coupled with the goals of Kaka, Mata, Ramos and Ronaldo. Real Madrid defeated Santander 7-0 at home and declared his strength with an amazing victory.

In the words of Marca, "When everyone thought that this invincible Real Madrid was finally about to show fatigue, Yang Cheng and his Galaxy Battleship used a bloody victory to declare that they were still strong and still invincible!"

A big victory can make Real Madrid feel relieved, because their emotions were indeed too tense and the team's physical fitness could not keep up, which led to the players' condition being unable to be guaranteed. Now that they have a big victory, the team's depressing atmosphere has been vented to a certain extent.

In this intensive schedule, Yang Cheng gave Raul instructions to arrange some training to recover and ensure the condition. Although the time remains unchanged, the intensity is much weaker because the players' bodies are very tired. At this time, they will use high-intensity training. This is a torture for their bodies, except for Ozil.

The frontcourt core of the German national team can be seen. Yang Cheng seemed to consciously want to treat him very well, and always asked him to arrange the roles of Mascherano, Pepe, Ramos and others to play against each other, and these guys are not doing lightly.

"The boss has told me that you should treat it very well!" Ramos laughed after knocking down Ozil.

"Damn!" Ozil got up from the ground. "You can't be gentle?"

"Maybe you should consider passing him just now!" Yang Cheng stood in the middle of the training ground and pointed at Ozil and said.

As his whistle sounded and training started again, Ozil was still playing against Ramos.

Although Ramos has become much more mature and stable in the past two years, this guy is a central defender with many small moves and is ruthless and scary. In their words, if the defender can't scare the opponent's forward, what's going on?

Originally, as a teammate, Ozil was very happy, but now that he became an opponent, he was defeated and tortured by Ramos, Pepe and others. However, he gradually learned his lessons and made progress, and was a little adapted to their close-fitting and physical confrontation. After all, if he was tortured too much, it would be impossible not to make progress.

It was like the Central Rear Kompani, who was beaten by Aguero, Villa and Klose all day long, but now his strength and level have improved by a thousand miles, and Yang Cheng's trust in him is also increasing day by day.

Ozil can really feel that the competition in Real Madrid is too fierce at present.

Let’s not talk about superstars like Kaka, Ronaldo, David Silva. They are all super strong. Mata is a young player in Real Madrid and a member of the World Cup champion. His strength is not inferior to Ozil. In addition, he has a local household registration and does not need a temporary residence permit, so he is naturally more popular than Ozil.

Also, in the youth team, Parejo, Canales, Munyain, Sarabia... all of these bastard boys are like wolves, with green eyes staring at Ozil's current jersey. As long as one is not careful, these bastards will rush to the first team and eat you alive.

This kind of competition can be said to be very cruel. Ozil also admitted that under such cruel competition, he made great progress, but he also felt that such competition brought him great pressure, and he should now get more competition experience.

Hiddink didn't say anything. His agent, some of his friends and professionals had given him similar advice. Leaving the greatest giants and going to a team that can play as a core main force, he can achieve higher achievements than he is now.

But Ozil also felt very worried, because he had played under Yang Cheng for many years in Real Madrid and was really reluctant to leave.

Today's professional clubs, especially the giant teams, are full of factions and grudges. Real Madrid's locker room also has some people with different minds and ideas. They are each getting closer. For example, Ronaldo, Marcelo and Pepe are good buddies, Kaka and Thiago Silva are good friends, and there are also local gangs with the most core strength of the locker room.

But Ozil knew very well that playing football at Real Madrid was actually very simple, because everything Real Madrid was decided by the head coach, so although these players had some conflicts with each other, such as positions, game opportunities, etc., at least on the surface, everyone was in harmony and no one would argue about it.

Because everyone knows that what Yang Cheng hates the most is this kind of internal struggle. Whoever breaks the rules will have to sit on the bench.

Moreover, the biggest players in the team, Kaka, Casillas and others, all obeyed Yang Cheng, so they formed a harmonious and united team. Although the competition was fierce, there was no problem. The players only needed to play football and train simply, just like going to and from get off work.

Sometimes when you are used to living this kind of comfortable life, you will undoubtedly need courage and consideration if you want to go to another environment and adapt again.

Thinking of this, Ozil couldn't help but sigh. He really didn't know what he should do.

"You are young, don't learn from Monitz. You sigh all day long!" Yang Cheng walked over with a smile.

Ozil is now sitting on the grass on one side of the training ground, while Yang Cheng is sitting down a little distance away from him.

"Is there something wrong?" Yang Cheng asked himself that he was very accurate in seeing people. Although he was not very responsible for training now, he still came to the training ground every day. He had to watch the players' training in person and give appropriate guidance. More importantly, he had to see the mental state of each player. Once he found any problems, he would actively communicate and solve them.

Over the years, there has been a tacit understanding in Real Madrid's locker room. You can talk about anything with Yang Cheng, even if you want to renew your contract and raise your salary, you can talk about it. Yang Cheng will also openly express some ideas and suggestions.

Although Yang Cheng has power and he represents Real Madrid, he can actually always balance the club and the players. Therefore, he has a high prestige in both the management and the players' minds. Fans also agree with him very much, so many media say that Real Madrid is now his own team.

"Let me tell me!" Yang Cheng saw Ozil hesitating, smiled slightly, but took off his training jacket, revealing a sweater that was obviously hand-woven, but the workmanship was a bit poor, but no one dared to say it because it was given by a certain Princess Caesar.

Yang Cheng's movements when he took off the training suit mean that he was not consulting as Real Madrid head coach. Ozil hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I encountered something recently."

"Hmm!" Yang Cheng nodded. He is definitely a trustworthy listener.

"Bayern Munich wants me!" Ozil looked at Yang Cheng carefully, as if observing Yang Cheng's expression.

Not much change, Yang Cheng nodded again, "Normal, no one cares about the players I like, it's strange that no one cares about!" He was a little proud, and seemed to be joking. Ozil couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Indeed, almost all the players Yang Cheng likes are worth a hundred times the value. Not to mention anything else, just take the rookies in Germany, such as Gotze, Reus, Schurle, Lars Bend and Sven Bend, and others. Now they are all soaring in their value.

Yang Cheng's vicious eyes have become his golden signboard!

"Do you want to listen to the views of Real Madrid head coach? Or do you listen to the views of the German national team head coach?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

Ozil hesitated for a moment, "Can you tell me all of them?"

"No problem!" Yang Cheng was very generous. "From the perspective of Real Madrid head coach, it is difficult for you to form a strong competition with David Silva and even Mata now. What you must admit is that David Silva's overall level is higher than you. Mata has made great progress in recent years, especially around the World Cup, but you have experienced a certain decline."

Ozil nodded. Yang Cheng and the coaching staff had mentioned to him before that his decline was more because he wanted to avoid physical confrontation and play football one-on-one to make himself easier. However, in this way, his threat on the court was much weakened, resulting in his improvement in other aspects, but overall, it was a decline.

Because a head coach looks at a player, he doesn't just look at a certain aspect of his ability, but about everything.

For example, if you look at Klose, will it just depend on his goal scoring ability? No, because when he doesn't score, he runs horizontally and vertically, pulls and supports, as well as his suppression of the central defender and his ability to take the ball from behind, are all very good, which makes him still an excellent striker even if he doesn't score.

Therefore, although Ozil's own changes have made him progress in running without the ball, passing, etc., it has declined in terms of outs and one-on-one, resulting in his threat to the court being much weakened.

Yang Cheng's meaning is also very obvious. David Silva has always maintained a very high level of performance, let alone Kaka. Mata has made such great progress. Of course, Yang Cheng cannot choose to reuse Ozil and give up these players. This is not Yang Cheng's style of doing things at all.

"From the perspective of the head coach of the German national team, I think you should really consider playing in a high-level league that can play. Of course, I can also tell you clearly that the winter break is impossible."

After hearing this, Ozil looked at Yang Cheng and nodded. He could taste something from Yang Cheng's words, that is, he is not the most important thing to the current Real Madrid team, so as long as the opponent's bid is appropriate, Real Madrid does not rule out taking him off to give him a better opportunity to develop, but that must be in the summer.

Of course, if he is willing to stay and accept the competition and prove his strength in a team like Real Madrid, Real Madrid is also welcome.

"But I have a sentence that I want to tell you is that no matter what you choose, you must maintain a momentum of progress, otherwise..." Yang Cheng didn't say a word afterwards, but the meaning was very obvious, that is, Ozil's position in the national team would not be guaranteed.

Ozil is eye-catching now, that's right, but if he doesn't continue to make progress and improve his strength, then in another year, in another two or three years, he will eventually become like everyone else.

When Podolsky appeared, was it eye-catching? But what about now?

When you debuted, everyone praised you and praised you. That's because everyone treats you as rookies and measures you by the standards of young players, but once you are no longer a rookie and no longer young, everyone will use another higher and stricter standard to demand and review you.

This requirement is not harsh at all. If you can't achieve it, it proves that you will be eliminated by the cruel professional competitive league!

"Go back and rest well, don't think too much. Improving your own strength is the fundamental reason. With enough strength, you can play the ball anywhere you go and shine wherever you go!" Yang Chengzhi persuaded with high hopes.

Ozil nodded and agreed. At least Yang Chengken said so much to him proved that Yang Cheng was very frank and gave him a clear idea of ​​what he wanted to do so that he could please the head coach and get the opportunity.

"Oh, by the way. Recently, sensitive periods. When facing the media, talk less!" Yang Cheng stood up and was about to leave. Before leaving, he suddenly thought of something. He reminded Ozil.

"I know, don't worry, boss!" Ozil smiled. It was the day of the presidential election of the German Football Association. Zwanziger is at a disadvantage and disadvantage and is looking for people to take sides everywhere. If anyone is pulled into this situation at this time, it will probably be a big problem.

Not only for Ozil. Yang Cheng has communicated with all the members of the national team before. He hopes that everyone in the national team can stand outside this whirlpool. Anyway, no matter who is Zwanzig or Nielsbach is elected in the end, German football still has to rely on their group of people to play football, right?

"Sorry, I'm late!"

When Yang Cheng walked into the Chinese restaurant in Isora Bella in Madrid, the waiter took him to the private room that Melissa had booked before. He saw the French beauty teasing her son sitting on the baby seat. He heard the sound of Yang Cheng opening the door and smiling.

"I'm used to it. Your father is so busy all day, right?" Melissa grabbed Yang's hand and waved at Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng walked over and gently pinched the little face, which was so pink that it made people very careful, as if it would break if it was harder. But even so, Melissa still complained, "You can't be gentle, it hurts a lot!"

"I'm very light, I can't touch it, it's so expensive!" Yang Cheng shrugged and sat down.

Although there are three people, how much can a child eat? Moreover, the kid's teeth have not grown yet and he is still learning to speak, so it is more about Yang Cheng and Melissa having dinner.

"Didn't you hand over all the training to Raul now? Why are you still so busy all day long that you can't see anyone?" Melissa felt strange. Logically speaking, she should be very free. Look at Ferguson, how easy it is, you don't have to go to the training ground.

"I'm not very busy, I just look around. I've only had that little time all day. It's really not enough to eat, drink, defecate, urinate, and sleep!" Yang Cheng smiled.

"I think you are worried. Don't I understand you yet?" Melissa glanced at him.

Yang Cheng is careless about other things, but he is always thinking about football, demanding perfection in everything, and asking about any details personally, and only then can he feel at ease after receiving a definite satisfactory answer.

"Is there any news in Germany?" Yang Cheng asked casually while eating.

"Nilsbach has an advantage in public opinion, but Blatt publicly stood up to support Zwanziger this morning. If I was not wrong, Beckenbauer should also stand up to support Nielsbach. Who can be elected depends on the vote at Essen's annual meeting tomorrow."

After a pause, Melissa looked at Yang Cheng, "By the way, will you go to the New Year?"

Yang Cheng shook his head, "I won't go!"

If you go, you must have to take the team. With Yang Cheng's current position, it is ideal not to take the team. Moreover, he has not really had a day off since the World Cup. This kind of high-intensity and high pressure life has made him very tired, and he is unwilling to find something for himself to do.

"That's right, then I won't go!" Melissa said with a smile.

"Do you have an invitation letter?" Yang Cheng asked in surprise.

Melissa looked up proudly, "Of course, French Football Magazine hopes me to go, but you don't go anymore, so it's boring me to go alone. So I won't go any further and stay in Madrid to accompany you!"

She is now a freelance writer, with several specialized newspapers and magazines, all of which are very influential in France and the royalties are also very considerable, so that she can easily make money as long as she writes something every day. However, what she writes the most is football. Media surveys show that fans like to watch the team she criticizes Yang Cheng for coaching the most.

There is a saying that is right. It is better to demolish a temple than to ruin a marriage. God knows what evil intentions are there for these guys!

"Oh, by the way, Bayern is going to change his handsomeness!" Melissa was eating and suddenly thought of the news she had just received.

"Is Van Gaal's get out of class dismissed?" Yang Cheng was stunned. Van Gaal's record and start of this season were indeed bad, and Bayern's management was all the masters who knew the ball, and changing coaches was a piece of cake for Bayern's senior management.

"The get out of class was announced this afternoon, and because of you, Bayern chose your old friend to be the head coach!"

"My old friend?" Yang Cheng first thought of Heathfield, "Is it Ultramar?"

But obviously not! (To be continued)
